The Zingo Open (Scoles & Webster) and Jackson Herman!

THE ZINGO NATIONALS OPEN

Kannon Webster and Braeden Scoles showed up on the East Coast for the Zingo Nationals, an open tournament that caters to the Yankee states on that side of America. Both of the true Freshmen pinned their first opponents. Then, Scoles got a quick tech at the start of the second period in the quarters. The guy he teched was a two-year starter for Hofstra. 

Kannon pinned his next opponent. 

In the finals, Kannon won with a tech, while Braeden got a major. They both won the most obnoxious bling imaginable, which they called "Jersey Chain." LOL!

 

JACKSON HERMAN

Where have I heard that last name? Could there be another wrestling family named Herman? This is from the IWCOA website: 

Jevon Herman

Class of 2012

St. Charles | University of Illinois

A 1993 graduate of St. Charles High School, Jevon Herman competed for four years for the Saints. He wrestled for IWCOA Hall of Fame coach Mick Ruettiger. He was a three time state place winner, finishing 2nd as a sophomore and junior. He capped off his senior year with an undefeated state title with a record of 37-0. He had a 139-11-1 career record. He was a Junior National runner-up in Greco-Roman. Jevon also played football and was an Upstate 8 All-Conference linebacker.

After high school, Jevon went on to the University of Illinois where he wrestled for another IWCOA Hall of Famer, Mark Johnson. Wrestling for the Illini, he was a four time NCAA qualifier, 2 time Big Ten runner-up and an All-American in 1998. He was also a Midlands finalist and he had a college career record of 110-45.

Jevon coached at Fox Valley Wrestling Club during the 1999-2000 season. He has worked for Republic Service for the past eleven years. He is currently the General Manager in Central Florida.

He enjoys spending time with his wife Mindy and their two sons. His other hobbies include motorcycle riding, camping, fishing, golf and enjoying live music.

That college record of 110 wins put Jevon Herman in rarified air at the University of ILLINOIS, which we documented with a video:

So, any relation? Yes. A Father/Son relation. Jackson Herman moved down to Texas because of his Father's job and went out and won a Texas State Championship. Now, he is going to be an ILLINI like his Father:

And to put a smile on your face, here's Father videotaping (and commentating) on his Son's semifinal match at the Texas State Championships:
